Question:

Dear Al,
   There is a Hand Turned 5 gallon beehive with dark brown glaze with the 5 “scratched in” coming up for sale.  They are on page 151 of the Red Wing Encyclopedia at the bottom if you need a reference with my somewhat poor description.  The handle is stamped with RWSCo.  I don’t know the condition as of yet but can you give me a current value on this piece, assuming it is mint and then I can go from there.
 
Thanks, Dru

Answer:

Dru, if in mint condition, the value is safe at $1200.  Al Kohlman
